Ningen Shogi: japán sakkmérkőzések élőszereplős, jelmezes emberekkel

Local high school students perform Ningen Shogi (human Japanese chess) on top of Mt. Maizuru, in Tendo, Yamagata Prefecture on April 17, 2022. Tendo is known for production of shogi "koma'' (pieces in English), and the annual event is held to spread the Shogi culture. 19-year-old Sota Fujii, the youngest player in history to achieve five crowns (Ryuo, Osho, Throne, Eiou, Kisei), appears as a player clad in samurai warriors costume. Due to the new coronavirus COVID-19, it is held for the first time in 3 years. ( The Yomiuri Shimbun ) (Photo by Kaname Muto / Yomiuri / The Yomiuri Shimbun via AFP)
